Understood and I don't deny that.  I just found it comical that there is any sense of power to hold him accountable from people who post on a fan site.  Unless we are paying his checks we have no pull.  Can only hope he makes a great choice and support the guy who is hired.

I think we all know we aren't responsible for holding his feet to the fire.

We are all just sick and tired of the mediocrity and underachieving.

Did Caruso or Joe Woodley apply? Great records, but are either interested?

Re: Woodley there was definitely some suspicious flight activity from Des Moines to Fargo yesterday.

@Cratter where you been lately? Working side by side with TM to break the real scoop??

I guess Chaves is doing it old school style.

Especially if there's no announcement Friday and the longer this drags on.

Post job opening. 

Do interviews.

Pick a coach.

Which means I guess he "didn't have his guy."

Caruso has a big lead in that poll. So I'm hopefully he gets it.

The lack of an announcement could point to Bolte or Woodley being the guy. They don’t want a distraction a day or two before their playoff games.

Getting it right is more important than having it done quickly.

Problem is when you take your time and get it wrong

I think Kelly was picking him up there and putting on the hard sell on the drive to UND.  
 

flight diverted to Fargo due to inclimate weather.

Not good

There’s a UND pilot on my flight, should I ask if there’s any rumblings amongst the pilots?

Not a bad idea at all.  The NetJet guys might have some inside scoop.

The Amtrack is the way if you're trying to be covert, like sneak into GFK, or stealing the frozen concentrated orange juice report*.  

 

*bonus for the reference in December to a movie that takes place at Christmas time

First, transparency is a good thing.  Second, the AD is in charge of seccession planning for all athletic programs.  If you take a step back and look at the last year of UND football from an organizational management standpoint.  It has been a complete cluster.  I don't see one aspect of it that has been handled appropriately.  So, I think it is OK to question what is going on.  As far as the power of social media, I think the single most damming thing for Bubba was the image posted on social media.  If you track number of people and comments before and after that picture being posted.  It was an inflection point for the entire discussion the tone changed overnight.

Last point, UND athletes is not self-sustaining.  Approximately 50% of funding is coming from a publicly funded school.  Many of the recent football improvements have leveraged public and private dollars.  I believe TIF dollars has driven a fair share of the recent improvements.  IMO, releasing names of three finalists is not that large of ask when they maybe one of the highest paid public employees in the State.  It comes with the territory.
